Shortini filmfest awards ‘Maybe another Time’ by Iran’s Asgari

Iranian filmmaker Amir-Hossein Asgari’s Maybe another Time has been awarded at the 2012 edition of Shortini International Short film Festival.
Asgari’s directorial debut won the Audience Award of the Italian festival which was held from August 1 to 5, 2012.
The 15-minute production recounts the story of a 13-year-old Afghan boy who goes to Iran in the hope of finding a job and helping his family who live in his war-torn country.
Maybe another Time took part in the event’s International Competition section, competing with films from Finland, Switzerland, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and Bulgaria.
Previous editions of Shortini International Short film Festival had also awarded Iranian productions, such as Morteza Akouchakian’s Bitter End of the Coffee that won the 2010 Best Cinematographer Award of the annual event.
Seminars, workshops and panel discussion sessions were also held on the sidelines of this year’s festival, such as ‘From an idea to his Creation,’ a seminar held by Italian producer and director Antonio Conticello.
The festival also presented the book The Ascent to the Pyramid of Sale by Conticello during a ceremony attended by the author, Joan Fraterrigo, Diego Pascal Panarello, Jessica Spinelli and Simona Mustache.
Visitors took part in ‘The Cinema of the Past and the Future,’ an event attended by directors Roberto Furnari, James Casole, Antonio Caramagno, actor Tony Palazzo and SHORTini Art Director Stephen Cacciaguerra.
